1 Amakhosi 13
1 UJerobhowamu esemi e-alithareni ukuze atshise impepha, kwafika umuntu kaNkulunkulu eBhetheli evela koJuda elelizwi likaThixo,
Ie amy zao nihirike e Iehoda ty ondatin’ Añahare, ami’ty tsara’ Iehovà, mb’e Betele mb’eo; ie nijohañe marine’ i kitreliy t’Iarovame hañemboke.
2 walethula e-alithareni lelilizwi likaThixo elithi: “Wena alithare! Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo ukuthi, ‘Kuzazalwa indodana endlini kaDavida, ibizo lakhe lizakuba nguJosiya. Izakwenza umhlatshelo phezu kwakho ngabaphristi bezindawo eziphakemeyo okwakhathesi abenza iminikelo khona lapha, lamathambo abantu azatshiselwa phezu kwakho.’”
Le nikoihe’e amy kitreliy ty tsara’ Iehovà, ami’ty hoe: Ry kitrely, kitrely, hoe t’Iehovà: Maharendreha te hasamak’ añ’ anjomba’ i Davide ty ana-dahy; Iosià ty tahina’e; le ama’o ty hisoroña’e o mpisoron-toets’ abo misoroñe ama’oo le haforehetse ama’o eo ty taola’ondaty.
3 Ngalolosuku umuntu kaNkulunkulu wenza isibonakaliso esithi: “Lesi yisiboniso esivela kuThixo: I-alithari lizadatshulwa phakathi lomlotha ophezu kwalo uzachithwa.”
Nanolo-biloñe ka re amy andro zay, ami’ty hoe: Zao ty viloñe nitsarà’ Iehovà; Inao! ho riateñe o kitrelio vaho hadoañe ty lavenok’ ama’e.
4 Inkosi uJerobhowamu isizwile isikhalazo sendoda evela kuNkulunkulu nge-alithare leBhetheli yelulela isandla sayo e-alithareni, yathi, “Mbambeni!” Kodwa isandla leso ayeselulile soma wehluleka ukusifinyeza.
Aa ie jinanji’ i mpanjakay ty saontsi’ indatin’Añaharey, i nikoiha’e amy kitreli’ i Beteleiy, le natora-kitsi’ Iarovame boak’ amy kitreliy ty fità’e nanao ty hoe: Fihino re. Fe niforejeje i sirañe natora-kitsi’ey, le tsy nahafitarik’ aze mb’ ama’e.
5 Kwathi i-alithari lalo ladatshulwa phakathi umlotha walo walahlwa, njengokwesibonakaliso esasethulwe ngumuntu kaNkulunkulu ngelizwi likaThixo.
Nidreatse ka i kitreliy naho nidoañe boak’amy kitreliy o laveno’eo ty amy viloñe nitaroñe’ indatin’ Añaharey tie nitsara’ Iehovày.
6 Inkosi yathi emuntwini kaNkulunkulu, “Ake ungincengele kuThixo uNkulunkulu wakho, ungikhulekele, ukuba isandla sami sisiliswe sibuyele esimeni saso.” Umuntu kaNkulunkulu wasemncengela kuThixo, lesandla sikaJerobhowamu sasiliswa saba njengakuqala.
Aa le hoe ty natoi’ i mpanjakay am’ indatin’ Añaharey: Mihalalia am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o ho ahiko, misolohoa ho ahy hañereña’e ty sirako. Aa le nihalaly am’ Iehovà indatin’ Añaharey naho niareñe ty fità’ i mpanjakay vaho nibalike ho amy do’e taoloy.
7 Wasesithi emuntwini kaNkulunkulu: “Ake siye ekhaya ukuba udle, ngizakunika umvuzo.”
Aa hoe i mpanjakay am’ indatin’ Añaharey; Mihova amako ao, hanintsiña’o, le ho tolorako ravoravo.
8 Kodwa umuntu kaNkulunkulu wayiphendula inkosi wathi, “Loba ungaze unginike ingxenye yenotho yakho, kangihambi lawe; kangiyikudla ukudla, njalo angiyikunatha amanzi kulindawo;
Le hoe t’indatin’Añahare amy mpanjakay: Ndra te natolo’o ahy ty an-tsasa’ i anjomba’oy, tsy ho nindrezako vaho tsy ho nihinañe mofo ndra rano ami’ ty toetse toy.
9 ngoba ngilaywe ngelizwi likaThixo ukuthi: ‘Ungabokudla ukudla, unganathi amanzi njalo ungaphenduki ngendlela oze ngayo.’”
Amy te nafanto’ i tsara’ Iehovày amako ty hoe: Ko mikama mofo ndra rano vaho ko mimpoly mb’amy lalañe nimbà’o mb’eoy.
10 Ngakho wabuyela ngenye indlela, kasabuyelanga ngendlela ayeze ngayo eBhetheli.
Aa le nionjomb’ an-dalan-kafa mb’eo re, tsy nimpoly mb’amy lalañe nionjona’e mb’e Betele mb’eoy.
11 Kwakulomphrofethi omdala owayehlala eBhetheli, okweza kuye amadodana akhe amtshela ngokwakwenziwe ngumuntu kaNkulunkulu ngalolosuku. Amadodana atshela uyise lokuthi indoda leyo yayitheni enkosini.
Ie amy zao nimoneñe e Betele ao ty androanavy mpitoky; le niheo ama’e mb’eo ty ana’e raik’ nitalily ze hene fitoloñañe nanoe’ indatin’ Añaharey e Betele ao; naho nitalilie’ iereo an-drae’ iareo ka i lañonañe sinaontsi’e amy mpanjakaiy.
12 Uyise wasebuza amadodana ukuthi: “Pho angabe uhambe ngayiphi indlela?” Amadodana atshengisa uyise indlela eyathathwa ngumuntu kaNkulunkulu owavela koJuda.
Le hoe ty nanoen-drae’ am’iareo; Nimb’aia re? Toe nitrea’ o ana’eo ty lala’ nomba’ indatin’ Añahare hirik’e Iehoday.
13 Wasesithi emadodaneni akhe, “Lungisani ubabhemi lingifakele isihlalo phezu kwakhe.” Kwathi sebemlungisele wagada ubabhemi
Le hoe re amo ana-dahi’eo: Adiaño ho ahy i borìkey. Aa le nidiañe’ iereo i borìkey naho niningira’e;
14 walandela umuntu kaNkulunkulu, wamfica ehlezi ngaphansi kwesihlahla somʼOkhi wambuza wathi, “Nguwe umuntu kaNkulunkulu na ovela koJuda?” Indoda yathi, “Yebo yimi.”
vaho niheañe’e indatin’ Añaharey, le nitendrek’ aze niambesatse ambane’ ty kobaiñe eo, vaho nanoa’e ty hoe: Ihe hao indatin’Añahare boake Iehoday? Le hoe re, Ie.
15 Ngakho umphrofethi wasesithi kuye, “Woza siye ekhaya uzokudla.”
Aa le hoe re tama’e, Molia mb’amako vaho mikamà mofo.
16 Umuntu kaNkulunkulu wathi, “Angingeke ngiphenduke ukuthi ngibuyele lawe emuva, njalo angingeke ngidle ukudla loba nginathe amanzi lawe kule indawo.
Le hoe re: Tsy hindre himpoly ama’o iraho, vaho tsy hitraofako lia; mbore tsy hiharo hihinañe mofo ndra hinon-drano ama’o an-toetse atoy.
17 Ilizwi likaThixo lifike kimi lathi, ‘Ungadli ukudla kwalapha, unganathi lamanzi akhona njalo ungabobuyela ngendlela oze ngayo.’”
Fa hoe ty tsara’ Iehovà nitsaraeñ’ amako: Tsy hikama mofo ndra hikama rano ao irehe, ndra mimpoly amy lalañe nionjona’o mb’eoy.
18 Umphrofethi omdala wamphendula wathi, “Lami ngingumphrofethi njengawe. Ingilosi seza kimi ngelizwi likaThixo sathi: ‘Ubomletha umbuyisele emuva endlini yakho ukuze ayekudla isinkwa njalo anathe lamanzi.’” (Kodwa wayeqamba amanga.)
Le hoe re ama’e: Mpitoky manahak’ azo ka ‘ni-raho; le nitsara amako ty anjely amy tsara’ Iehovày, ty hoe: Ampolio mb’añ’ anjomba’o mb’eo re hikama mofo naho hinon-drano; inay ty lañi’e.
19 Ngakho umuntu kaNkulunkulu wabuyela laye wafika wadla ukudla wanatha lamanzi endlini yakhe.
Aa le nindreza’e fimpoly, nikama mofo naho ninon-drano.
20 Besahlezi endaweni yokudlela, ilizwi likaThixo lafika kuye umphrofethi omdala owayemphendule wabuyela laye emuva.
Ie niambesatse am-pandambañañe eo, le niheo amy mpitoky ninday aze noliy ty tsara’ Iehovà.
21 Wakhuluma kulowomuntu kaNkulunkulu owayevela koJuda wathi, “Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo: ‘Usuphikise ilizwi likaThixo awusagcinanga imilayo kaThixo uNkulunkulu wakho akulaya ngayo.
Le napaza’e ty hoe am’ indatin’ Añahare hirik’e Iehoday, Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà; Amy te ihe nanjehatse i falie’ Iehovày, naho tsy nambena’o i fañè nafanto’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’oy,
22 Uphenduke endleleni wafika wadla ukudla wanatha lamanzi lapho utshelwe ukuthi ungaze wadla ukudla kumbe unathe amanzi akhona. Ngenxa yalokho isidumbu sakho asisayikungcwatshwa emangcwabeni abokhokho bakho.’”
te mone nibalike naho nikama mofo vaho ninon-drano an-toetse nitsarae’e ty hoe: Ko mikama mofo naho ko minon-drano; le tsy higodañe an-kiborin-droae’o ao ty fañova’o.
23 Kwathi umuntu kaNkulunkulu eseqedile ukudla lokunatha, umphrofethi owayemphendule endleleni wambuyisela emuva wafaka isihlalo sakhe phezu kukababhemi wamkhweza.
Aa ie amy zao, naho fa nikama mofo naho ninon-drano, le nadia’e ho aze i borìke’ey, ho a i mpitoky nampihovae’ey.
24 Uthe esengene indlela yakhe, kwavela isilwane endleleni sambulala, isidumbu sakhe sasala phansi emgwaqweni, kwathi ubabhemi wema ngapha kwesidumbu lesilwane sime ngale kwaso.
Aa ie nienga mb’eo, nitendreke liona nanjevoñ’ aze, ie nañifike i fañova’ey an-dalañey; nitsangañe añ’ila’e eo i borìkey, vaho nijohañe marine’ i fañovay i lionay.
25 Abantu ababesedlula lapho babona isidumbu siwele khonapho emgwaqweni, isilwane simi eceleni phansi kwesidumbu, bedlulela edolobheni bayabikela umphrofethi omdala lapho ayehlala khona.
Inge amy zao ondaty niary eio, ie niisa’ iareo i fañova navokovoko an-dalañey, naho i liona nijagarodoñe marine’ i fañovaiy, le nimb’eo nitalily an-drova nimoneña’ i androanavy mpitokiy.
26 Kwathi umphrofethi owayemphendule endleleni ehambeni lwakhe ekuzwa lokhu, wathi, “Ngumuntu kaNkulunkulu odelele ilizwi likaThixo. UThixo umnikele esilwaneni, esimphoqoze sambulala, njengoba ilizwi likaThixo belimxwayisile.”
Aa ie jinanji’ i mpitoky ninday aze moly boak’ amy lalañeiy, le hoe ty asa’e: Ie t’indatin’ Añahare nanjehatse i tsara’ Iehovày, toly ndra natolo’ Iehovà amy lionay, nirimite’e naho vinono’e ty amy tsara’ Iehovà nafe’e ama’ey.
27 Umphrofethi wathi emadodaneni akhe, “Ngilungiselani ubabhemi limethese isihlalo.” Akwenza lokho amadodana,
Aa hoe ty natao’e amy ana’e rey: Diaño ho ahy i borikey. Aa le nidiañe’ iereo.
28 wasesuka esiya khonale lapho afumana khona isidumbu endleleni, ngapha kumi isilwane ngale kungubabhemi emaceleni aso. Isilwane asizange sisithinte isidumbu kanti njalo sasivele singazange simthinte lobabhemi.
Ie nimb’eo le nanjo i fañovay te nahifik’ an-dalañe eo, naho i borìkey, vaho i liona nijohañe marine’ i fañovaiy. Tsy nihane’ i lionay i fañovay vaho tsy nirimite’e i borìkey.
29 Ngakho umphrofethi wathatha isidumbu somuntu kaNkulunkulu, wasikhweza kubabhemi, wasithwalela edolobheni lakhe lapho afika amlilela khona njalo wamngcwaba khona.
Rinambe’ i mpitokiy ty fañova’ indatin’ Añaharey, le nasampe’e amy borìkey, vaho nendese’e nibalike mb’eo; ie nivotrak’ an-drova’ i androanavy mpitokiy, le nandala naho nandentek’ aze.
30 Wasebeka isidumbu engcwabeni lakhe, wamlilela wathi, “Maye, umfowethu!”
Natsalalampa’e amy kibori’ey i fañova’ey; le nandala’ iareo ami’ty hoe: Hoke, ry rahalahiko!
31 Ngemva kokumngcwaba, wathi emadodaneni akhe, “Ekufeni kwami, lingingcwabe engcwabeni lona leli okungcwatshwe khona umuntu kaNkulunkulu; libeke amathambo ami ndawonye lamathambo akhe.
Ie nandentek’ aze, le nafanto’e amy ana’e rey ty hoe, Naho mikenkan-draho, aleveño amy kibory nandentehañe indatin’ Añaharey; apoho marine’ o taola’eo o taolakoo.
32 Ngoba ilizwi alimemezelayo ngelizwi likaThixo phezu kwe-alithari eBhetheli laphezu kwazo zonke indawana zomhlatshelo eziphakemeyo emadolobheni aseSamariya lizagcwaliseka.”
Amy te tsy mete tsy hifetsake i tsara’ Iehovà nipazahe’e amy kitrely e Beteley naho amo fonga anjomba an-toets’ abo an-drova’ i Someroneo.
33 Langemva kwalokhu, uJerobhowamu kazange aguqule izindlela zakhe zokona, waqhubeka ekhetha abaphristi bendawo eziphakemeyo edobha nje ingqe ngubani ebantwini. Kwakusithi loba ngubani ofuna ukuba ngumphristi wayemgcobela indawo eziphezulu.
Ie añe, tsy nibalintoa amy sata-rati’ey t’Iarovame, fa nanoe’e mpisoroñe an-toets’ abo o boak’ am’ondaty tsotra iabio; toe noriza’e ho mpisoroñe an-toets’ abo ze hene nimete.
34 Lesi kwakuyisono sendlu kaJerobhowamu esakhokhelela ekuweni lasekudilikeni kwayo kayaze yaba khona emhlabeni.
Ie nampanan-kakeo ty anjomba’ Iarovame, hañitoañe aze, naho hamongorañ’ aze ambone’ ty tane toy.
